SEASON SEVEN: CAPTURING HUMANITY
Our seventh season examines the human impulse to control another entity. What drives the desire to replicate humanity? To seize a city? To document the time, the damage, or the impact of a human life? The diverse compilation of plays in Season 7 address these questions and many more through themes of war, technology, art, science, politics, and love.
In a continued effort to promote diversity and gender parity on American stages, we have assembled a season of plays authored by female playwrights, women of color, and LGBTQ artists. By diversifying the voices behind the work we present, RT tells stories of a wider range of individuals that better reflect the world in which we live.
Join us for our 7th year of quality, thought-provoking theatre in the Historic Gryphon Theatre.

AN ILIAD BY LISA PETERSON & DENIS O'HARE
|
Relative Theatrics presents the Wyoming Premiere of AN ILIAD by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare, a modern-day retelling of Homer's classic. The production runs September 5, 6, 7, 8, & 11, 12, 13, 14, 2019 in the LPCC Gryphon Theatre and is directed by Andrew Thornton, featuring local actor Anne Mason.
Poetry and humor, the ancient tale of the Trojan War and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theater. The time is now: the present moment. The lone figure (Mason) onstage is a storyteller—possibly Homer, possibly one of the many bards who followed in his footsteps. She is fated to tell this “explosive, altogether breathtaking” story throughout history, “brilliantly meshing past and present calamity, with touches of the most caustic dark humor suddenly shifting into unimaginable pathos.” All performances are followed by a chat-back with the actors and design team. Audience seating is on stage and there is a limit of 50 tickets per show. The play contains adult themes and language. Tickets: Tickets are $12 in advance or $16 the day of the performance (subject to availability). Student and senior discounted pricing is $10 in advance or $14 the day of the performance. Tickets can be purchased online at www.gryphontheatre.org or at the LPCC office (room 110) during its business hours Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. Admission is limited to 50 seats per show. Tickets are currently for sale. Additionally, tickets may be purchased for the fixed price of $12 in person at Coal Creek TAP. Patrons with proof of advance ticket sales can receive a pizza and two beers at Coal Creek TAP for $20. Supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. |
